Ooh. Scary.

If you really can’t stay away from horror films then you should at least know the different varieties: the 'Slasher Flick', where scantily-clad teenagers being very naughty get picked off one at a time by an unstoppable serial killer; the 'Monster Movie', where either oversized animals or the undead come in search of that much sought-after delicacy, human blood; and the 'Holy Terror', in which the Devil himself causes all sorts mischief, whether it be possessing innocent children, possessing innocent houses, or even possessing innocent furniture.

All feature gratuitous volumes of gore and sex, if done right.
